Change, Heartache, and Normalcy

Change: Taryn is no longer in the nursery! She has finally graduated to Primary (children's Sunday School). I can't believe my little Taryn Bear is growing up so fast! Her class consist of 4 kids, 3 boys and 1 girl..HER! How funny and appropriate is that!
Heartache: Okay this one is a mommy heartache. One that all us mom's will feel at one time or another. Olivia is such a sweetheart when it comes to her friends. She loves friends and she loves to draw them pictures and write them little notes. She gets so excited about the things she makes for them. Unfortunately her little friends are not as excited about them as she is and she often ends up bringing the pictures back home. Mostly she hasn't been to sad about the rejection, until Sunday. She wrote a couple of notes for her friends she hasn't seen in a few weeks. When I picked the girls up from Primary to head home she still had the little notes in her hands. She looked so sad and told me that her little friends didn't want them. She was so crushed and my momma bear heart just ached for her sadness! I know there will be more of this to come in life and how I just wish I could protect my little girls from such disappointments.


Normalcy: After being gone for almost 2 weeks, I've had a hard time adjusting back to real life. You know being organized, planning meals, cleaning, routines. Well today Olivia started back to school, Kerrigan had a Drs. appt and life resumed as normal. There is something to be said about normalcy isn't there...it's comforting.

Give Olivia a hug for me, I would keep anything she made me forever! And the picture of Beau is just too funny, and that it's under the normalcy section. haha!
